Forge New Homes has appointed Chapeltown-based agent Crucible Homes to market its Waverley Green development.
Waverley Green will feature a collection of 32 fully electric, two- and three-bedroom terraced homes at Olive Lane, each designed with sustainability in mind through the innovative use of electric energy supplies.
Located at the heart of Harworth Group’s Olive Lane mixed-use development in Waverley, which aims to transform the area into a sustainable community, is the 1.5-acre site, which is being constructed by Lindum Group. Plans include cafés, restaurants, bars, a convenience store, a pharmacy, a nursery, small retail shops, and a medical centre. This amenity-rich public realm is intended to foster community and provide everything a new neighbourhood needs to thrive.
Toby Brown, head of sales commented: “Olive Lane is an exceptional scheme that will undoubtedly attract buyers from Sheffield and the surrounding region.
“With our customers at the forefront of our planning, we are committed to creating liveable spaces that support thriving households and growing communities and look forward to working with Crucible as we meet prospective residents looking to be a part of Waverley.”
Added Chantelle Hardie, from Crucible Homes: “Waverley Green is ideally situated, offering something for everyone. Be that dining out in Sheffield’s city centre or exploring the outdoors in the nearby Peak District, Waverley Green truly offers the best of both worlds.
“The upcoming Olive Lane will make life even easier, with its range of restaurants, coffee shops, and essential services all within walking distance. It’s a truly exciting time to be part of this growing community.”
Peter Massie, senior development manager – Yorkshire & Central, from Harworth Group added: “Our vision for Waverley is to create a vibrant new area. I am thrilled to see the construction progress, with new homes that will enrich the neighbourhood, offering well-designed living options, fully electric homes, and extensive green space. Forge has a proven track record of delivering high-quality homes tailored for modern families, and we are pleased to be working alongside them and Crucible at this stage.” While Lindum Group Co-Chair, Freddie Chambers, concluded: “We are moving forward onsite at Waverley, creating modern, sustainable homes that will provide a fantastic place to live. We are delighted to be a part of the creation of these new homes, working alongside Forge and Harworth Group Plc as we realise their vision for the regeneration of this important site.”
The first homes are expected to be available for reservation in late 2024, with a show home onsite due to open in spring 2025 and the scheme scheduled for completion in November 2025. Properties will feature free-flowing layouts, private south-facing gardens, parking spaces, and EV charging points. Access to outdoor spaces is a priority, with plenty of landscaped communal areas and footpaths that encourage residents to connect with one another.
Waverley Green marks Forge New Homes’ fourth development in the Sheffield City Region, a location renowned for its excellent connectivity and proximity to Sheffield Parkway. Funding for this project was awarded by the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) from the SYMCA Brownfield Housing Fund.
